    Is it just my imagination or are the final 3 ranks of the ranger swarm pet aa exactly the same, i haven't bothered to parse it extensively but a few things of note:

    the max hit for the pets in ranks 7 and 8 are 125 (i havent bothered to get rank 9)
    the pets at those ranks both con green to level 100 (not a big deal)

    but most importantly:

    Rank 6:

    [16573] Pack Hunt
    Classes: RNG/254
    Target: Single
    Range: 150'
    Resist: Unresistable
    Casting: 0s
    1: Summon Pet: packhunt6 x 5 for 120s



    rank 7:

    [32360] Pack Hunt
    Classes: RNG/254
    Target: Single
    Range: 150'
    Resist: Unresistable
    Casting: 0s
    1: Summon Pet: packhunt6 x 5 for 120s


    Rank 8:


    [32361] Pack Hunt
    Classes: RNG/254
    Target: Single
    Range: 150'
    Resist: Unresistable
    Casting: 0s
    1: Summon Pet: packhunt6 x 5 for 120s

    Rank 9:

    [32362] Pack Hunt
    Classes: RNG/254
    Target: Single
    Range: 150'
    Resist: Unresistable
    Casting: 0s
    1: Summon Pet: packhunt6 x 5 for 120s



    I realize this is a very very very minor aa line for the ranger class (hence me not really stumbling across this on my ranger alt until recently) but I tend to look at swarm pets for each class more closely than the other classes I think because swarm pets benefit my main (mage) more than any other class in the game actually benefits from their own swarm pets.

    It looks like the 3 swarm pet ranks that were added to rangers in alaris literally do NOTHING different and are merely copy / pastes of rank 6


    I can't help but feel that the new ranks should either have gotten a level increase + dps increase attached to them or their duration should have been extended by 5-10 seconds per a rank..... or it also may be possible that the ranks were never intended to go live I don't know. I didnt have a ranger when Alaris launched so I do not know the whole history on it.

    Am I overlooking something or are the final 3 ranks literally not even a tiny upgrade over rank 6?

    No idea, I never made a hotkey of that aa. I only purchased it because I'm an omgz overpowered ranger with game ruining headshotting abilities.

    never really noticed either till you mentioned it, Rank 9 same thing low 105 about
    I mentioned it to Elidroth and he said will look into it

    So am I reading that correctly? You only get the pack for 2 min and then can't use it again for 15? I've been looking for this and glad I found it here, but that sounds crappy :(
  8. Gladare Augur

    Pack hunt rates just higher than aa's such as innate hp regen and innate resistances. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

    The fact they do like 200 dps is even more crappy. At least they don't push mobs around anymore.
